Farm murders victim names 1994-2010

Death toll: 3,775 of the less than 12,000 remaining “white” farmers murdered since 1994 up to Jan 21 2011

Note: SA blacks refer to all ‘whites’ as “Boers’ – i.a. in their genocidal hatespeech chant “Kill the Boer’ they thus refer to all ‘whites’. About 96% of all these reported rural murder victims below are ‘white’ Afrikaans-speakers – people who also refer to themselves as Afrikaners and/or Boers.

-------------------------------

The list also includes English-speaking commercial ‘white’ farmers; foreign visitors and white immigrants killed in rural areas such as game-lodges, lake resorts and beaches; also: a seperate list of black female farmers torched to death or hacked to death inside their homesteads over male-dominance related tribal land-rights disputes: NOTE there are some 1-million black subsistence farmers in South Africa. who now hold more than 4% of the viable commercial-agricultural land sites. There are only 12,000 commercial ‘white’ farmers remaining (from the original 85,000 in 1994) and have access to farmland on less than ONE Percent of the entire land surface... South Africa is an arid country and only 6 percent of its entire land surface has ever been suitable for irrigated and dry-land commercial crop-farming...

DORNING: “History expert on the secrets of the SA 'bush war" murdered: Dr Warwick Antony Dorning, was shot dead execution-style at his Adamshurst Howick, Mpophomeni farm 2009-11-07 – and an SAPS inspector, pictured right, was arrested... Journalist Julia Denny-Dimitriou reported that the former senior government official and farmer was shot dead execution-style on his farm Adamshurst near Howick’s Mpophomeni area. He used to work as the chief-of-staff in the Premier’s office.Peter Miller, former Finance MEC and a long-time associate and family friend, said two armed men entered and shot him “stone dead, in cold blood, without warning,” The police were called and they found a 9 mm cartridge and a spent bullet on the scene.Miller said Dorning’s death was “a totally unnecessary killing. He worked for me for most of his career. He served the new South Africa in a very high capacity with distinction for about 15 years.He was a really generous and warm-hearted person.He was a highly educated man and an accomplished historian. Much of his PhD thesis, which covered recent South African history, including the bush war, is still classified. A kind and good man has been wantonly killed when he still had so much to offer.” It was reported later in The Witness that among the three arrested men had been a Howick falls SAPS-inspector Michael Sokhela. http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Farmer-shot-without-warning-20091108

UN Human Rights Organisation researcher Mary de Haas: report dated 1 August 2001- 2637 http://www.unhcr.org/refworld/docid/3c2b20450.html ‘ Unequal Protection: The State Response to Violent Crime on South African Farms during 2000: “The state response to violent crime against white farm owners and managers must be improved, Human Rights Watch said. And black farm workers have much more difficulty getting help from the criminal justice system than do white farmers’. De Haas concluded from her research in 2000 that the farm-murders were ‘mostly criminally-motivated’.: and the ANC-regime still claims this as a fact in all its media statements 10 years later despite the fact that thefarm-attacks are not being maintained by the SAPS in stand-alone statistics since 2004.http://www.unhcr.org/refworld/type,COUNTRYREP,,ZAF,3c2b20450,0.html

And the family was unable to return to their luxury smallholding after the attack.Ludik:"I have just one advice for crime victims: pack your bags and leave as quickly as possible. he continued;’ Afrikaans youths 'fake-urinate' in people's food and it's worldwide news. White families like us get attacked, it gets registered in the statistics, and South Africa is the only country in the world which has created laws to 'protect' the majority from a small minority like us . Margot hasn't been able to stop crying after the family's two hour horror, he said.The attackers woke them up in the middle of the night, threatening to kill the parents and hurt the children, constantly. "Any minute I felt as if a bullet was going to hit me,' he said.The Ludik family's neighbours were robbed at gunpoint in December.

VAN GREUNEN - Ex-Kameeldrift SAPS CID-inspector Marius van Greunen executed: seven shots March 29 2008Six Kameeldrift police officers used their own money, their own cars, off-duty time and their own phones to hunt down the killers of ex-cop Marius van Greunen, 38, Kameeldrift ."Seven times. Why did they shoot him seven times?" asked devastated widow Ilze van Greunen, 34, about the death of her husband, Marius, 38. reported Hilda Fourie, Beeld journalist, Pretoria . The former CID-inspector, the father of two small children, was found murdered in his bedroom. Marius had been an inspector in the criminal investigation department of the Kameeldrift police office before resigning about a year ago – encouraged to do so due to the black-economic-empowerment anti-white hiring programme. After that, he worked in a brickyard. Ilze said: "They could've just shot him once, tied him up or hit him over the head. It wasn't necessary to kill him’. Ilze and her children, Kay, six, and Zian, four, had been on holiday in Durban when Marius was killed on Saturday and they caught a flight back to Gauteng on Saturday afternoon. She took the children on holiday for their safety: the family had a burglary at their home about two weeks earlier and the children "did not even want to go to the bathroom alone anymore". "I just wanted to take them away from everything," said Ilze. Marius's brother-in-law, Louis Esterhuizen, 32, who lived on the smallholding in a separate house, said he was woken up by shots about 03:00 on Saturday. He didn't worry about it too much as apparently shots were fired regularly in the area. "I got up and looked around outside for movement, but didn't see anything," said Esterhuizen. "On Saturday morning I went to town. When I got back about 11:00 I became suspicious because Marius's car was still in the driveway. "All the doors of the house - except the door of his room - were locked and there was a ladder leading up to Marius's balcony. "I went into the house and found Marius on his bed in his room. He had been shot seven times. It's an image that will always stay with me," said Esterhuizen. entire story on: http://www.news24.com/News24/South_Africa/News/0,,2-7-1442_2297626,00.html

DU PLESSIS, JACOBUS AND EUNICE, murdered execution-style, EC Dec 29 1999, grandson and worker abducted, Kinkelbos farm Brooklands Port Elizabeth EC http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Robbers-gun-down-farmers-wife-20060117 PORT ELIZABETH -- The cold-blooded murder of a middle-aged couple on a Kinkelbos farm On Dec 28 1999 has outraged the tightly knit community, reported by Ria Jordaan and others: Dispatch online 29 December 1999 Mr Jacobus "Doep" du Plessis, 55, and his wife Eunice, 55, were shot in the head at close range, while their nine-year-old grandson and domestic worker were abducted by two armed men on Brooklands farm, which Mr Du Plessis managed.

VENTER, Ansie, Burgersdorp farm wife killed Bloukrans farm, East London, 4 children abducted Nov 1997 - Zama Mpondwana of Dispatch Online. reported Nov 1997 in EAST LONDON: - Police assisted by angry farmers searched for two men wanted for the brutal murder of Burgersdorp farmer's wife Ansie Venter, 367, and the abduction of her four children. Mrs Ansie Venter's children were forced to watch while their mother was fatally shot in the head after she had earlier been shot in the stomach. Inspector Jackson Tiya of the Burgersdorp police said one suspects had been identified by locals after three of the children had supplied police with identikits of the killers. It is believed the men had lain in wait on Bloukrans farm for Mrs Venter, 36, and her children to return on Friday afternoon from a trip into town. Mrs Venter's husband, Hansie, was on business in Aliwal North. After shooting their mother, the men forced her children into her car. After crashing the car on a farm road, the killers separated the children, locking the two boys Johan, 14, and Gerhard, 3, in a rondavel on a neighbouring farm and fleeing with the girls Lindie, 12, and Charlotte, 11 months. The two girls were abandoned some distance further and were later found in the veld by police. Mrs Venter's body was found near the farmhouse, which had been ransacked. Police said Lindie was severely traumatised and had been examined by a police doctor. Incensed farmers vowed to avenge the slaying. "It's now a situation of kill or be killed," said Eastern Province Agricultural Union president Pieter Erasmus. Sapa reports Freedom Front leader General Constand Viljoen blamed the African National Congress for the death of Mrs Venter. "They have encouraged a state of hate and lawlessness, worse than anything ever experienced in the country, and are doing little to correct the situation," Gen Viljoen said. Communities had their own ideas about how to deal with crime, he said. "The police have tried one plan after the other, with little success. The ANC must admit that the crime situation in South Africa is out of control and allow communities to implement their own security measures in association with security forces." http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Robbers-gun-down-farmers-wife-2006011

LOURENS, Johannes - August 1987, murdered on Brits farm by Butana Almond Nofomela, member of a hit squad, paroled in Aug 21 2009 by Judge Siraj Desai - Nine life-serving prisoners paroled September 09 2009 Nine prisoners serving life sentences have been granted parole, the correctional services ministry said on Wednesday. They include Butana Almond Nofomela, whose death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment after he exposed apartheid hit squads. The names of the others have not yet been released. Correctional Services Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula made the decision after considering National Council on Correctional Services (NCSS) recommendations about the placement of 18 lifers who had served at least 20 years in jail, her ministry said in a statement.The 18 were among 57 prisoners who had served 20 years of their life sentences and were eligible for parole, it said. Nofomela's parole was "subject to certain conditions", the ministry said, but did not elaborate. On August 21, 2009 NCSS Council Chairman Judge Siraj Desai recommended that the conditions of Nofomela's parole “include referral for psycho-social support to help him reintegrate into society, pre-release programmes and that he not be in possession of, or have access to firearms.” In granting the paroles, Mapisa-Nqakula said it had to be borne in mind that "such offenders are placed on parole for the duration of their natural lives and should they break their parole conditions they will again be detained". Nofomela was sentenced to death in September 1987 for the murder of Johannes Lourens on his farm near Brits. The day before his scheduled execution, he confessed to being part of a hit squad that murdered eight operatives of the then-banned African National Congress.Among those murdered was human rights lawyer Griffiths Mxenge. Nofomela was granted amnesty for these political murders, but still had to serve a life sentence for Lourens's murder. In "exercising her discretion" to grant parole to the nine lifers, Mapisa-Nqakula took into account the protection of the community, the risk of re-offending and the likelihood of successful reintegration of the offender into the community, the ministry said. She said her decision was informed by case management committees and the correctional supervision and parole boards. She also called on communities to take part in the processes of parole boards."Victim participation is an essential part of the restorative justice process, which informs the policies of the department of correctional services," she said."Communities also need to facilitate offender reintegration into society to help us break the cycle of crime and reduce re-offending in our society." – Sapa http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?from=rss_South+Africa&set_id=1&click_id=13&art_id=nw20090909192234370C451884http://www.nytimes.com/1989/11/23/world/south-african-bolstered-in-claim-he-belonged-to-police-hit-squad.htmlhttp://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Nofomela-a-free-man-20090911http://www.saflii.org/za/cases/ZASCA/1993/203.html

Fischer, Karel, 86, Morgenzon, Mpu farmer survives torture and being used as human shield: farm attacker injured and arrested - attack by at least 4 black militias in gunfight with 60 farm-defenders. Famer Karel Fischer was recovering from a recent stroke when his farm at Morgenzon in Mpumalanga was attacked by a large gang of armed black attackers on Friday night. These ‘black heroes of the ANC-revolution’ tortured the old man and his son Adriaan extensively, demanding the key to the gunsafe – and kept on torturing him even though the sick old farmer was telling the truth: he did not have the key... and when a huge number of farmers showed up, the cowardly gunmen used the old Afrikaner man as a human shield, hiding behind him and dragging him along through the field while fleeing… When some sixty members of the farm-watch units responded to the emergency call, the black militia-members took the injured old farmer hostage and dragged him along, using him as a human shield in the fierce gun-fight which followed. His son Adriaan also was shot in both legs and was tortured. Both Fischer men were rushed to a hospital in Louis Trichardt.An unnamed farmer from Brits arrested one of the farm-attackers during the search which followed, shooting the man in the chest and confiscating the weapon in his possession. This arrested gunman now is treated at a hospital under police-guard, Willem Pelser of Rapport writes. http://www.rapport.co.za/Suid-Afrika/Nuus/Bejaarde-boer-as-menseskild-gebruik-20100904

REMOVAL OF SAPS SPECIALIST-CRIME FIGHTING UNITS IS DANGEROUS: Solidarity spokesman Jaco Kleynhans says the SAPS has appointed more than 83,000 new police officers since 1994 - yet ‘the serious crimes have only been reduced by a mere 645 murders between 2004 and 2009. It is clear that the SAPS is not able to use its police force effectively to fight crime with. They abolish their specialist-units while overseas policing forces expand and strengthen theirs. The results are clear: In South Africa, the average daily murder rate lies between 30 to 40 people per 100,000 of the population – the international norm is 5 : 100,000.” http://www.misdaadprotes.co.za/solidariteit-lid-op-pad-werk-toe-voorgele-tereggestel/

Weilbach, Marie, 79, declared braindead, in coma, attack by two berserker workers Mhlushwa Khoza, Mbongiseni Hornsby –they in turn were shot dead by grandson Eon Viljoen 26 after the workers shot at him in ambush Dec 23 2010The MILK COMPANY which was so slow to pay the Wiedeck dairy farm in Walkerville for their products has A LOT TO ANSWER FOR. Look at the carnage they caused: two farm workers went berserker because Mrs Wiedeck's grandson Eon Viljoen, 26, who ran the farm, was unable to PAY THEIR CHRISTMAS BONUSES IN TIME, bashed in the old lady's brains while she was watching TV; then waited for the son in ambush in the kitchen and blasted away at him with a shotgun as he walked through the door. He in turn shot back with his grandmother's legal 9mm, shooting dead the shotgun-man with a single shot to the head and then also shooting dead the second man who attacked him with a steel pipe... And all this because the MILK COMPANY HAD NOT PAID THE FARM FOR THEIR PRODUCTS. http://www.farmitracker.com/reports/view/886

85-year-old Afrikaner farmer Izak Dreyer murdered on Namibian farm - We did not include the murder of this Namibian farmer in our South African farm attack statistics. However we mention it became it took place on the same politically-important day - Dec 16 2010, the Afrikaner’s Day of the Vow – and with a very similar modus operandus. 85-year-old Afrikaner farmer Izak Dreyer was asleep in his bed on his farm Newlands near Ühlenhorst , Rehoboth when five black males unscrewed the locks to his backdoor and attacked him. They tied the old man up, and gagged him so tightly that he suffocated – or died of a heart attack. The gang also was well-organised and was dropped off about 5km from the farm by a sedan-vehicle which had stopped on the N4 freeway, the Namibian police said. The gang looted Mr Dreyer’s guns before fleeing.http://www.sun.com.na/story/gang-slays-85-year-old-farmer

The term "genocide" was coined by legal scholar Raphael Lemkin in 1943, writing:

'Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actionsaiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves.

The objectives of such a plan would be the disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of personal security, liberty, health, dignity and lives of the members of such groups...
